TIMED BELT FEEDER:
The timed belt feeder enables you to feed blanks (CD/DVD covers) to a register section and transport them to the placer section. It processes folding carton material and corrugated board, up to 6 mm thick. The timed belt feeder has a vibrating device to assist in separating the blanks, and a programmable vacuum system insuring positive, consistant feeding at high speed.

OPTIONAL FOLDER STATION
This station is a mechanical system which folds flaps after the Timed Belt Feeder Station, just prior to hot glue application.

HOT MELT GLUING STATION
The DigiStar CD/DVD Pick & Place machines have an electronic hot melt gluing system consisting of:

• One generator with PID regulator, temperature precision +/-0,5°
• Glue extrusion guns with self-cleaning device and precise glue cutting (the quantity depends on the option chosen).
• One PC regulator with encoder for automatic speed compensation.

This system applies points of glue on the CD covers, before the trays are placed.
The guns are mounted on the machine according to the options chosen.

PICK AND PLACE MODULES
The number of Pick and Place Modules to be ordered with your DigiStar is dependent upon your product mix and the maximum number of items that you require to be placed in your finished product.

The placers are composed of four rotary units with suckers and venturis.
Each prehensile part is linked to a patented mechanical system, which facilitates the "picking and placing" of the products you are packaging.

This feeder can use different magazines, detailed below:

PICK & PLACE FEED MAGAZINE OPTION 1 - TRAYS/COVERS MAGAZINE
The tray magazine is easily fitted at the patented feeder.
It feeds the trays, and is adjusted according to the trays’ sizes.

The tray magazine is composed of:
- 2 motorized belts with sequential advance, per stream.
- One mechanical rectification system which accurately positions the products in each magazine, before being picked by the suckers.

For delicate CD covers, this magazine can be utilized instead of the timed belt feeder.
The covers are picked by suckers and directly placed on the vacuum belt.
The magazine is easily adjusted in all the directions, according to the covers’ size, while the machine is running.

PICK & PLACE FEED MAGAZINE OPTION 2 - CD MAGAZINE
This magazine can be installed instead of the trays magazine in each feeder’s station and enables you to pickand place CD’s and/or DVD’s. If a CD magazine is fitted on the machine a tray magazine is also required.

PICK & PLACE FEED MAGAZINE OPTION 3 - STANDARD MAGAZINE
The "standard" magazine is constructed with a set of guides which permit feeding of a variety of forms and materials (PVC, printed material including paperboard, sachets and so on).

DELIVERY
The delivery is continuous, with homogeneous stacks. A counter, with operator selectable batch quanitities, guarantees accurate quantites is each stack pile. Personnel can easily inspect product quality as the finished product is delivery for case packing.
The out feed belt is split into two separate, independently driven aprons. These aprons can be run individually or together for large single stream covers.

STACKER
The stacker includes a register system which facilitates product handling.
